Welcome to the monthly meeting of the io9 Book Club. In April, we read The Summer Prince, by Alaya Dawn Johnson. Jump into comments to get started talking about it!

For those unfamiliar with the io9 book club, here's how it works: You read the book. We create a special book club post on io9 when the meeting is in session. That would be the post you're reading right now. Then everybody talks about the book in comments for a few days, starting right now.

We are hoping Johnson will stop by later this week or early next to talk with us about the book. I'll post a call for questions for her soon!

So, what did you think of The Summer Prince?

Want to get a head start on our next book?

In May, we're going to read Austin Grossman's surreal, action-packed gamer novel YOU. (Our review of it is here.) We'll meet June 4 to discuss it, and we hope Grossman will join us later that week for a discussion!
